Imagine walking into Pick ‘n Pay & there are no price tags on the goods. Every time you want to know the price of something, a member of staff takes you to the back & whispers in your ear.
That's how silly you look when you say “DM for price.”
If someone at work tries to micromanage you, micromanage them back.
Send them too much feedback, ask them a lot of questions, do follow ups when they go quiet or even when you know they are busy don’t let them rest.
